Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the Source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature. ~ Lao Tzu

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. ~ Lao Tzu

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe. ~ Lao Tzu

Act without expectation. ~ Lao-Tzu

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment. — Lao Tzu
